About
Workout space, pool, and sports field at a community center with programs for kids and seniors.
The facility features two distinct pools: a lap pool maintained at a comfortable 80°F (26.7°C) for swimming, and a teaching pool kept warmer at 86°F (30°C) for lessons and warmer water activities.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Fullerton YMCA receives mixed reviews, with many patrons praising its friendly staff, excellent basketball programs, and effective swim lessons, specifically highlighting coaches like Sterling, Austin, and Ashley. The front desk staff are noted for their enthusiasm, and the indoor workout area is considered modern, offering good value and many classes. However, significant concerns include a negative experience with a specific swimming coach, where a patron felt uncomfortable and perceived racism regarding pool usage rules. Additionally, the men's pool locker room is criticized for being outdated and having extremely limited facilities, and the pool area in general is described as unchanged since the 1960s. Some also find the pool water and air too cold in winter.

It's a good gym for the money. Lots of classes available too. Recommend.

The workout area (indoors) is modern enough, and the sports fields seem decent, but much of the pool area is unchanged from it's initial creation in the early 1960's, and the men's pool locker room really shows this. (Most of it's original men-only space went for women, so there's only 2 showers, 24 lockers, and 2 benches, and get this, 1 toilet & sink, no urinals! And it gets worse when someone uses the toilet stall to change or takes long.) It's not terribly warm in the water or air in the winter time, as they now have a lot of fans running in the roof. (Used to be air turbines.)

Fullerton YMCA is awesome 👏 My son has payed and been coached 🏀basketball since he was 8. Now 14 years old (2024) Both my daughter and son have both taken swim lessons multiple times 🏊♂️🏊♀️ Everyone is super friendly. And given all the movement and people I believe they handle all situations the best they can. 📸Pics are from over the years

The swim coaches are excellent! Coaches Sterling, Austin and Ashley work with the kids and encourage them to be their best. 👍🥇❤️

When I was learning to swim by myself in the pool, the coach came up to me and said with a smile, you can practice here now, but in the summer when there is a swimming team you can't swim here like you do now. I asked him, can't I come the earliest in the morning? He smiled and said to me, yes, you can't. I think this is the worst conversation I have had today, and I think he only said it to me because I am an Asian girl. And he is white. (When I joined the YMCA, I had been browsing the website for half a month, so I knew exactly when free swimming would be open.) I like the front desk staff very much. Their enthusiasm made me decide to join the YMCA. But the swimming coach made me feel very uncomfortable.RACISM:)
